Marshfield High attack plotters separated behind bars

Joseph Nee, 21, has been transferred to a jail in Billerica to prevent him from meeting up with Tobin Kerns, 19, who is finishing up a 10-month sentence in Plymouth.

Joseph Nee, 21, began his nine-month sentence at Plymouth County jail earlier this month but has been transferred to a jail in Billerica. That’s because his co-conspirator in the school attack plan, Tobin Kerns, 19, is finishing up a 10-month sentence in Plymouth.

The two were friends and members of a group that called itself the “Natural Born Killers” when they were students at Marshfield High. They devised elaborate plans to take revenge on their enemies at school by locking it down, detonating explosives and shooting people. But the plan fell apart when Kerns and Nee began fighting and turned on one another.
